I have EXTENSIVELY tested all K2 models and have concluded that the original
design is
worth the Xtra money. Mainly because you can run regular scooter wheels. The
Kick 2
wheels WILL break quickly if you weigh over 200 or THRASH. Also you can not find
any
replacements-in the US. You CAN run standard off road SK8 board wheels in the
front but
the rear is a weird size and your pretty well screwed. So I would check eBay for
an original
and you may have to bid in Germany because they seem to have more over there. I
think
the original handles better too. Good luck finding one, I would NOT part with
one of mine
for less that 600 bucks and on second thought I just wouldn't sell it's too
sweet a ride.
